The Bhoganandisvara Temple at Nandi is the finest architectural specimen of Dravidian order built anytime between 9th and 15th century A.D.
In the Bhoganandisvara Temple complex between the twin temples Bhoganandisvara and Arunachalesvara there is a intervening shrine of Uma Maheshwar.
In front of shrine there is a Kalyan mantapa built of soap stone very interestingly carved with creepers and birds.
The interior of the central dome has 3 layer of fine carvings of interesting figures.
The excellent craftsmanship can be seen in every inch of the carvings. Each pillar of the mantapa is carved very intricately.

Beautiful, delicate looking and so intricate. The nterior of the dome is beautiful. You must have had to lie down on the floor to get that shot!
